• ' ROBBERY AT - THE' DUKE OF WORK'S. Last night, or early this morning, some thieves broke into the Villaof 'Mi.:Greenwood, at Old Bramp ton, whiCh:iS at present the residenee of His Royal Highness the Duke of York; Since .his Royal Highness has been there, he has slept in the dining-rooin, into which the thieves entered, and took all the seals and other yo,lu ables they -Could find. Mr. Greenwood's plate chest was carried out to: the lawn, and all the silver articles taken away, and the plated ones left. It is supposed the' robbery was committed by some persons who well knew . the house. His Royal:Highness appears to have been extremely unfortunate..a.his residence at Brompton. During the violent thunder storm on Thursday night, the rain forced 'an entrance into his Sleeping apartment, and ob liged, the:Royal Duke to . abandon his bed. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelvt o' Clock. Late yesterday in the afternoon various reports were in circula tion, thatucounts had been-received, by way of France, that Spain Was going to declare war against Portugal, and that England was going to take the part of Portugal, for which purpose four or five sail of the line were preparing to join our fleet in the Tagus.

By the Master's report he •hatti4isallowed,the application of the funds of the Theatre to the amount of 20,000/. 11Ir .

T he receiver'had treated Mr. Harris, for whom Mr. Sugden appeared, until the Court taught him better, as if he, had lied no interest in the concern; nay s even as if he had been an intruder, notvrithstenting he bad a . much greater interest, than any person concerned in the establish Rent. The receiver was,,to be considered as one with Manna.

I ") p ee p looking into the petition More particularly, •• r ‘:r f i. found that it prayed The Court would order the Master, in review ing his report, to allow the aceounts mentioned in an annexed schedule. Hill LORDSHIP had not had this stated to him before; but even if it were so, why should the receiver not pay the balance into Court. Mr. HEALn said, if those accomits were allowed by the Master, a balance would be due to the receiver. His 'LORDSHIP inquired if that were so upon both the reports? Mr. HIALD observed that the second report had nut been con cluded. His LORDSHIP found, however, that the Master had proceeded so far in the second report,. as that he had made a great many thousand pounds appear to be due from the receiver. Mr. HEALD wished to know whatever his Lordship would allow to be introduced by affidavit, the, items objected to in the second report so far as it went, not having been able to have petitioned against it in its present state. His - Loansurr would state what he thought of this by-and-by. It was utterly impossible that the thing could go on as it had been going on ; if it were not conducted differently to what it had been, the Court would certainly do, as Sir William Grant did in the case of the Opera House ;• namely, sell off the property at once. Mr. fixatai made a few more obseriatiouiL His LORDSHIP observed, that the same principle which Zpplied to a common partnership, applied to the case of a theatre. The principle was, to carry on the partnership until. it was. properly dissolved and wound up; but if there were any delay on the part of any of the parties, the way was, to sell off the property at once. And it might be extremely necessary for all parties con cerned in Covent Garden Theatre to be apprised, that unless they could . agree to carry on the establishment properly, sold the Theatre, should be. His Lordship desired to see the prayer of the bill, which he would read, and then give judgment on Friday. At, present he entertained a doubt, whether he ought not to order the cause to be set down for hearing immediately, and the Theatre forthwith to be sold. It might be material if a sale was to take place, that the concern should be sold before a new Mason commence 4. HIS LORIISHIP'S HEALTH. The Loan CHANCELLOR seemed still to have considerable pain in his hand. On being asked for judgment in one or two cases that were to have been disposed of ere now, he humourously oh served, that he should have disposed of a feW things within the last few dam but he felt, if he had attempted it, lie would have made a bad hand at it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tail DAy.) DICKENSON IN RE PARR. This was a petition on behalf of the assignees of the bankrupt, praying that the Court Alight order a Mr. Hartly, the solicitor to the bankrupt, to give up all.the papers relating to the bankrupt's af, fairs which remain in his posielision. It appeared that the solicitor refused to give up these papers, until his bill of costs, which amounted to 7401., should be paid. This the assignees ob jected to, 'deeming it extravagant, as the effects of the bankrupt amounted tone more than 20001. The Vtel-CnaNctu.ou granted the Onler, directing the bill of costa to be taxed by the Commissioners,' and au account taken of the disbursements, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(Tuks DAY.) A dozen or more poor old men and women came up to complain that they were refuted relief by the parish officers of Biehopsgate. Kinnersley, their beadle, attended, in a grand gold-laced coat, to answer their various complaints. The LORD MAYOR- 7 I wish, Kitinersley, you would put on a little humane behaviour with that fine coat of yours. The entire time of a Magistrate will he requisite to hear the ,complaints of the poor against your parish alone. The Beadle—Complain, my Lord, they're always complaining, though we treats 'em more humanely than any body. They're a sad set you've got before you, my Lord ; but let'i hear 'em. A cadaverous looking wretch, who appeared scarcely capable of supporting a tottering frame, said that he had fallen down in the streets fron► exhaustion and illness, and was taken to the , 1 workhouse, but was turned out. The Beadle..-. , Exhaustion and illness! guttling and drunken new ! He's a drunkard, my Lord. He. fell, down dead dr unk in theatreets, and a butcher brought hi m on hi s b ac k to the work house'. We discourage drunkenness, my Lord. The pauper solemnly declared it was illness. The LORD MAYOR said his present condition left no doubt of his being a proper object, and he ordered him to be relieved. An old womau said she was starving, and had been refused re lief: • • • • The Beadle.—She's a bad one, my Lord. She exe r cises th e black art. She's a fortune-teller. She t e lls all the young girls of the pariah their fortunes, and that brings burthens on us. She gets plenty or money, and the should have told her own fortune better than to come to us. The :sybil denied" that she had any money, and declared that 'lie was now unable to read the will of the fates. The Loan Maros ordered her to be relieved. Another old woman declared she was famishing, and that she was refused relief by Mr. Kinnersley; who wanted to starve all the old women. The Beadle-You're a pretty one to complain, are you not ? My Lord, she's a terrible one ; the kept a bad house ; you've done a deal of mischef to the parish. The old woman declared she was starving, and the Lord Mayor ordered her relief, as well as several others, for all of whom the beadle had some reproach to wake in justificatiOn of their objection.

On the 16th of the same month, he waited on the /study at 'dinner, at•the conclusion of which he was de sired to go to a cupboard for some vinegar. A ii;reitt Ad of plate was kept there: On' the same day, Sarah Pratt, his female servant, came to him and stated that she had missed two of the table spoons used at dinner, and she • suspected the prisoner of having taken ;them away, as he was nowhere to be. found. Mr. Shaw then searched for ToWl, and not being able to find him, he went. to the cupboard, where the pri inner had been, from whence there had been taken 11 silver tea spoons. The prisoner left abruptly, without giving notice or asking for ins wages. Sarah Pratt confirmed the above as far as she was concerned. The prisoner eudeavoured. to excuse him se lf, by saying that b e inn! no wages ' due, as he hid not been there a week. lie Went to another situation. He was remanded for a week.

The other two then came up to the first woniati's Assistance, and all three fell upon him instanter, and beat him as unmercifully, that he was literally smothered in blood. Two witnesses deposed to the cruel treatment 110 experienced from the prisoners, who offered them not,the slightest provoca tion for the assault.

She said that she wall married, and her .name Turner ;- but she &lewd to Mr. Dyer this morning' that she was not, and that her name was ,Stuckey.

She seemed greatly affected, and answered, that she had put it off from time to time till the seizure.

Mr. Dora observed, that the circumstances were very suspi cious, and he should remand her till Saturday. CORONER'S INQUEST. Last evening an inquisition was taken before THOI{AS Hrnos, Esq. at the Turf Tap, in Mr. Tattersall's Yard, Upper Grosvenor. place, on Henry Shepherd, a fine boy, aged three years, who died from scalding. John Gillham,. of Queen's-yard, Jews'-row, Chelsea, lodged with the deceased's parent, ; on Saturday week last he was at breakfast in their room. The infant,. in attempting to get on a chair, placed his hand on the table, whicb overturned the cup and saucer, and the hot tea went into his bosom. The child screamed, when the mother and sister, then in. the room, speedily applied sonic seraped potatoes and oil to the scalded parts ; but the little sufferer complained greatly of pain in his belly. The injured parts were red, but no blister appeared for au hour after. Mfr. Henry Russell, the h ouse-surgeon to St. George's Hospital, examined the deceased when brought there, on .Saturday week ; the injury seemed slight, and at that time there was no danger. He prescribed for the child, and requested the mother to bring him next!clay if he did pot get better; she, however did not come till Saturday last, the scalded part was then, in .a state of mortifica tion. The deceased's grandmother said several things had been applied at the recommendation of friend*.. He saw the child on Sunday and Monday last, and seeing. he was in a dangerous state lie did not permit the infant to be taken away, as he re quired every attention. - The deceased, however, lingered till . Tuesday, when lie expired from the scalding on the chest. Wit ness had no *doubt, if he bad been brought to the Hospital as ono) as requested, their treatment would have prevented the fatal consequences that ensued. The Jury deeply, regretted the poor little sufferer's death, cud returned a verdict of—Accidentally Scalded. SUICIDE,(Tif m is. --ORNING. Mr.. Stephens, a highly-respectable master builder, this morn-, ing terminated his existence by strangulation, at his house in Warwirk•lane. For some time past, particularly since the wea ther leas set in so intensely hot, the unfortunate gentleman had been it a bad state of health, accompanied with great nervous irritation, and lowneis of spirits. At the early hour of six, his son, who slept in the Seine room, got up for the purpose of going to superintend some workmen; but previous to leaving the house; gave his father some medicines, who then appeared in a composed state. Ills daughter, in about an hour afterwards, came down stairs, and as she was passing the bed-room door, called in to in quire how he had passed the, night, when the melancholy sight presented itself of his hanging from the roof of the bed, quite inanimate. Medical assistance was procured, but the vital spark had fled. • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ,(RECIIVID MOIXING.) GLOUCESTER, AUG. S. NOSP.VULLINCI..--ERUICKIRL V. ICAYXII. Mr. Jnstice opened the pleadings and stated, the de claration was, that defendant being violently and ill-mind idly disposed towards the plaintiff, he committed upon him a most violent assault, by pulling his nose.—(Much laughter.) Mr. Ludlow stated the case, laftd said, thotgh 'it was one of laughter to those in Cowl, it was none to the poor plaintiff, being done in the most painful manner, without a shadow of provocation. Several witnesses were ekintined, w ho proved the assa u I t Mr. Phillips, in. mitigation of , danutges, admitted the use which a. nose was described, so pathetically by his Learned Friend, to a man's face; he acknowledged it was at once an article of both use and ornament, of use in this instance, because it was partly made a handle for correction, and he considered that the &induct of the plaintiff, on the show ing of his own witnesses, to be such as to warrant the use that was made of his - nose; he complained, that the assault originated in a pot-house, was brought here to occupy the more valuable, time of the Jury, instead of being sent to the Sessions. Mr. Ludlow—No no. " . Mr. Phillips-=Yes, yes. Aa the whole of the case was simply this ; one called the other a rascal, and he , got a tweak on the nose for it ; he thought he ought to get damages, and he felt convinced th e Jury were of the same opinion, recollecting, as they must, what their own feel ings would be upon such conduct—the case was simi lar to one tried by a Learned Judge, who made an obser vation upon -it, which for their benefit he would relate, upon a similar pot-house quarrel : the Learned Judge When he heard the Counsel for the defendant say, " I admit the assault, 'and I hope you will give a verdict . for the plaintiff, but hope that verdict will be for a faithing;" said " Yes, he has a right to the farthing certainly, that he may immediately go into the next oil shop and buy some to heal the 'injury which his nose luul sustained."—(bmghter-) Such should be the conduct of this Jury; give him the' farthing, and with this advice, that : the next tune he would, be disposed to insult any person, he would first provide himself with the farthings worth of soap, and soap his nose well with it.--(Much laughter.) The Jury consulted a few moments, and returned their verdict. Damages, One Shilling. Mr. Ludlow hoped his Lordship would certify for costs. Mr. Justice Burrough—Certainly not. A person of the name of Pane svas buried a few days ago in Artramont church yard. H i His relations, norder to _place him beside his father, who wai buried there six yeire ago, opened the grave for that purpose, anirwiretatonished to'find that his body was in the same state as when first consigned tO the earth. We hear, however, that this is not an extraorOnitry cir cumstance in this connty, the Aatile often occurring in'ilifferent parts of it. A man named Thoinas, having died from lbws of blood, from a wound received at Vinegar hill during the late rebellion, was hastily buried in his clothes in a field near Bayles brewery ; upwards of a year bad elapsed, when his friends wishing to place his remains in consecrated ground, found the bodY per fectly sound, though there was not a particle of his clothes, with the exception of the buttons, remaining.-- TV*xforel Ereniny Poet.

The appearance of these leaves is like that of the mulberry; they have two small feet on each side. When squeezed, no blood jaquag from them ; hut, if touched, they escape backwards direct ly. One of these was preserved eight days alive in a platter ; and, whenever it was touched, moved round the rim of the platter. In Judea, as Josephus relates in the seventh book of the . Jewish War a plant, called Bacharas, is produced, of the colour of flame, but which glitters in the evening like a sun-beam.

SAVAGE, THE MAGISTRATE. ENR Y-STRtarr. 2 This gentleman Will on Friday brought up, to answer the complaint of Mr, Edward Moy lan, paper-manufacturer, of Strand -street, for an unpro voked assault. Mr Moylan said, that on the 28th of June last, he was sitting in the shop of Mr. Clarke, printer and statio ner , of Great Britai n - s tr ee t, when' Mr. Savage came in. Mr. Savage seated himself for a short time at the opposite side of the counter, and suddenly rising, without the slightest :provocation, or a word having. passed between them, he stood up, seized him (Mr. M.) lifted him out of the chair, and, taking him forcibly by the arm, pushed him into the street, at the same time calling him a spy, and using other insulting language. - Mr. Silk, a friend of'Mr. Moylan, advises him, who was 'a married man, and Mr. Savage being a magistrate, to prefer his complaint before the proper tribunal. Mr. Savage said, lie was no magistrate there; he Was a magistrate of the county ; but this transaction occur red in the city. Why had it, not been brought forward sooner ? Mr. Moyhtit explained this, by saying hN was arrested the next day for debt, and was obliged to take the benefit of the Insolvent Aet. The Magistrate said that was no discredit to him ; many a respectable man had been compelled to do the same. Silk—lf Mr. Savage will make a proper public apology to Mr. Moylan, it is all that is required. Mr. Savage---Tot, tut—what-1 apologize to a p a p er . dettlerl—'pon my word—poh, poh !—apologize indeed_ and to a paper-dealer-4a, ha, ha!

A foundation was digging for another warehouse adjoining it, and the labourers had had their dinners brought them, which they had ta k en, and were resting themselves on the foundation ; and, dreadful to re. late, ten were buried; two have been taken out, with very faint hopes of recovery; eigheare still under the ruins; and in a dwelling-house adjoining, where there was one family of seven brothers and sisters, three are no inure, the re mainder were slightly injured. I was present, and lost no time in sending for a coach, and sending two of them to the Infirmary, who are doing well. Suffolk-street is a great thoroughfare, and which street, with the others, are filled with the materials of the ware house and its contents; for every, room was full of goods, cotton, &e. It was a boarded warehouse. At The time it fell the distress was dreadful; for no one knew who might be buried under the ruins in some of the streets, and all the neighbourhood were seeking in every direction that part of their families who were absent. Under all circumstances the loss of life is much less than could pos siWy have been expected. At this moment thousands from all parts of the town are visiting the place through every avenue leading to the fatal spot. SPORTING . INTELLIGENCE.
